FTP Users

Do the following to add FTP users to your Open Suse 10.3 LAMP server with vsftpd installed and running. If you have not done this, see the LAMP page to set this server up.

Login to your server as root and type "yast2" to open up Yast. Scroll down to Security and Users, then select User Management. Tab down to Add, and fill in the user's information such as First and Last Name and user name. Set their password. Select Finish to create the user. Select Finish again to exit User Management in Yast. Select Quit to exit Yast.

Now, you have a FTP user that can use any FTP program such as WinSCP, Dreamweaver, or Cyberduck to upload files to their web server directory.

The user's host directory will be "public_html" and their website will be http://www.yourwebsite.com/~username. Below is a screenshot of a Dreamweaver FTP configuration to log into the web server.
